3 favourite dance moments so far...

1. Performing In Crimson for Natalie Allen. Turning a whole multistory school building into the set of a free roaming “choose your own adventure” theatrical show with the cast having individual weaving narratives was insanely fun!!

2. When remounting Leigh Warrens’ Shimmer in my 3rd year I danced the same role

and wore the exact same costume that Kynan Hughes did when he danced it, I truly felt the lineage of our art.

3. Creating Collisions Incoming with Jess. Loved collaborating, Loved debuting our own work under our own names. Simple answer, but very proud of it!
